Waves of Impact

Anna Maria Larsen is an amazing thought leader in the field of executive coaching.  Dive deep into what it takes to be a great leader, great in a sense of authentic self.  Anna Maria Larsen shares her experience, coaching, and best practices in a series of three podcasts.  You will be inspired to look inward for inspiration as you lead.

Anna  Maria Larsen started her career as a retained executive search consultant, senior level searches. She has helped numerous senior executives rediscover and fully appreciate their own  innate gifts, talents and passions.  Anna Maria Larsen is the Founder and Managing Partner of Lumenis  Partners, LLC, a leadership coaching, executive search, and strategic consulting firm. Her clients  include Fortune 500, small and mid-sized companies, nonprofit organizations, and individuals. 

Anna Maria has provided coaching to executives of all levels; however, her greatest strength is  working with senior executives. Many of her clients have already had stellar achievements  throughout their careers, yet are seeking a new direction, personal fulfillment, or perhaps a capstone  opportunity to achieve a personal objective. 

Coaching is very personal. Anna Maria’s unique style and approach are derived from a lifetime of  unique experiences. She completed post graduate studies at Georgetown and Harvard, she received a  Leadership Coaching Certificate from Georgetown University in 2004, and is credentialed through  the International Coaching Federation.  

Executive mentoring/coaching is a partnership with a client in a thought-provoking and creative  process that inspires an individual to maximize her/his personal and professional potential.  Coaching brings clarity to an issue and develops a plan of action. Through real conversations, she creates customized practices that help individuals recognize  their own ability to be proactive with the challenges they face, and to make good decisions regardless of the circumstances. Her mentoring practice is much more than ‘executive coaching.’ It is a transformative journey for the open-minded and discriminating client.  

She is a talented leader in her own right, having had direct fiduciary responsibility to guide a multi-billion dollar not-for-profit through tumultuous times, having founded her own successful  professional practices, and having participated with and led several community and national boards.

RADM Coane talks about leadership and the importance of vision, communication, and integrity.

Born and raised in Redondo Beach, California, RADM Coane is the son of a California National Guard officer who served in the South Pacific in WWII as a Brigadier General. Both he and his father attended the University of California, Berkeley. Graduating as an ensign in the ROTC program, RADM Coane reported to flight training in the fall of 1968.

RADM Coane’s thirty-four year military career consisted of eleven years of Active Duty and twenty-three years of Reserve Duty. Trained as a P3 Maritime Patrol/Reconnaissance and Antisubmarine Warfare pilot, RADM Coane flew in the Vietnam Theater; tracked Soviet submarines in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Mediterranean; and, in the late nineties, flew reconnaissance missions over Bosnia and Kosovo. In 1995, RADM Coane completed a three-month tour as Deputy Commander, Joint Task Force Southwest Asia in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As the Navy Deputy for Operation SOUTHERN WATCH, he was responsible for enforcing United Nations sanctions against Iraq. RADM Coane was also a qualified Surface Warfare Officer and served aboard the aircraft carrier USS Constellation (CV-64) as Tactical Action Officer and Officer of the Deck. During that tour, he flew the ship’s supply aircraft, the C1A.

During his career, RADM Coane held five Commanding Officer assignments including command of Patrol Squadron Nine Four in New Orleans, LA, and Reserve Readiness Command Southeast where he was responsible for six thousand Reservists in seventeen reserve centers across four states and Puerto Rico. His Flag Officer assignments included three years as the Deputy Commander U.S. SIXTH Fleet embarked aboard the USS LaSalle (AGF-3). During this tour, he personally conducted official visits to Romania and, twice, to Bulgaria where he negotiated bilateral exercises. His last assignment was as the Deputy Commander for the Naval Network Warfare Command/Naval Space Command in Little Creek, VA. There, he also served as the Director for the Naval Reserve Space and Network Warfare Program. Other assignments included a four-year tour on the Secretary of the Navy’s National Naval Reserve Policy Board, Naval War College reserve course series, Army War College Course for Senior Reserve Officers, and the Executive Program for General Officers at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Admiral Coane retired on 01 October 2002.

In civilian life, RADM Coane worked for thirty-two years as a pilot for Eastern Air Lines and Delta Air Lines where he retired as a Captain on the MD-88 aircraft. While at Delta,  he served as Program Manager for all pilot Human Factors programs and was responsible for training program development and execution. Most recently, he served as a trained facilitator for the company’s New Captain leadership seminar. He retired from Delta in 2005.
